Multi-state charitable solicitation registration, renewals, and compliance support to keep your nonprofit in good standing.
Charitable State Registration Services for Nonprofits
Every state has different rules, forms, deadlines, and filing requirements. We handle the entire charitable registration process so your nonprofit stays compliant and focused on its mission.
Charitable Solicitation Registration and State Fundraising Compliance
If your nonprofit fundraises in more than one state, you may be required to complete charitable solicitation registrations before asking for donations. Each state has its own rules, forms, deadlines, and renewal schedules. This service was created to make the process simple, organized, and stress-free. You receive direct support from a specialist, accurate filings, and clear communication from start to finish.
OUR CHARITABLE REGISTRATION SERVICES
Initial Charitable Registrations
We prepare all required registration forms, attachments, and financial documents for each state. We coordinate signatures and submit filings through the appropriate agency or state portal.
Annual Charitable Renewals
Most states require yearly renewals. We track deadlines, prepare renewal filings, update financial information, coordinate signatures, and manage the full submission and approval process.
URS (Unified Registration Statement) Preparation
When a state accepts the URS, we prepare the URS form, schedules, state supplements, and all required attachments for consistent, complete filings.
Fundraising Activity Filings
If your nonprofit works with fundraising consultants, fundraising counsel, or paid solicitors, certain states require additional filings or contract submissions. We help identify those requirements and prepare all necessary documents.
